Rolled Egg Recipe
Email
My grandfather used to drive an hour from Providence to our house in Boston to roll these breakfast beauties every other Sunday morning. He served them with bagels, cream cheese, and lox. You can get creative and roll anything you like into them.
INGREDIENTS
- 1 large egg
- 1 1/2 teaspoons milk or water
- 1 1/2 teaspoons unsalted butter
- Salt
- Freshly ground black pepper
INSTRUCTIONS
- Heat an 8- to 9-inch crêpe pan or nonstick frying pan over medium heat until hot, about 3 to 4 minutes.
- Meanwhile, place the egg and milk or water in a small bowl and beat with a fork until pale yellow and mixed thoroughly.
- Melt the butter in the pan and, using a rubber spatula, spread it around to evenly coat the pan. When the butter foams, pour in the egg mixture and tilt the pan so it spreads to the edges and makes a perfect circle. Let sit undisturbed until the egg just starts to set around the edges, about 30 to 60 seconds.
- Using the rubber spatula and a fork, start at one side and roll the egg over itself, an inch at a time, until completely rolled up. For soft, runny eggs, remove from the pan immediately. For more well-done eggs, lightly brown the bottom side, then flip and lightly brown the other side. Season as needed with salt and pepper. Serve immediately.
WOW - poor guy shares a love recipe from his childhood...did he claim to be a Michelin chef? I tried this recipe...it took 48 secs. consistently for the eggs to be ready to roll. They are DELICIOUS and now my hubs daily breakfast. Maybe you ought to try the recipe before you criticize so harshly. Some of us are JUST homemakers with good recipes.
I agree with Viking. This is an omelet recipe. A classic omelet has no filling.
Haha, come on, I'm trying poke silly fun at this. It probably still tastes good.
I don't see the word "bake" above.
That reminds me of crepes. I use to make them. Flour, egg, milk and a bit of vanilla. A thin batter. Make them real thin and fill with whatever you want. My daughter and I went crazy with them filling with strawberries and whip cream on top. Yummy.
It is not baking, it is cooking. Last time I checked there was a difference.
AK, You are Cold!
If it looks like a duck........
No, an omelete with a missing filling. 30 to 60 seconds? If you have a 100% variation between two cooking times, what's the point of even mentioning it. Yeah, I'm going to put a recipe up for a cake, you can bake it for 1-2 hours.
Sooo... an omelet?
